Dermaplaning

How Dermaplaning Works:

1. Preparation: The skin is first cleansed to remove dirt, oils, and makeup.
2. Exfoliation: A trained professional uses a small, sterile scalpel to gently scrape off dead skin cells and fine hair from the surface of the skin.
3. Aftercare: The skin is often moisturized and protected with sunscreen, as dermaplaning can make the skin more sensitive to sun exposure.

Benefits of Dermaplaning:

1. Smoother Skin Texture: By removing dead skin cells, it can create a smoother and softer appearance.
2. Radiance: It can enhance skin’s natural glow by revealing fresh skin underneath.
3. Better Skincare Absorption: Without the barrier of dead skin cells, skincare products can penetrate more effectively.
4. Makeup Application: Makeup tends to go on more smoothly, as the skin has a more even surface.
5. Hair Removal: It removes fine facial hair, which can often make the face look fuzzier or feel rough.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

• Individuals with dull, dry, or rough skin
• Those with fine, soft facial hair
• People looking for a non-invasive exfoliation treatment

Who Should Avoid Dermaplaning?

• Those with active acne or cystic acne, as the procedure could irritate or worsen the condition
• People with sensitive or reactive skin, including those with conditions like rosacea or eczema
• Individuals with certain skin infections or open wounds

Considerations & Aftercare:

• Sun Sensitivity: After the procedure, the skin may be more sensitive to the sun, so applying sunscreen is crucial.
• Results: Dermaplaning typically leaves the skin looking fresh and smooth for 3 to 4 weeks, after which a repeat session may be needed.
• Frequency: It’s generally safe to do every 3 to 4 weeks.

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive, quick procedure with minimal downtime, making it popular for those looking to improve skin texture and appearance with little to no risk.
